I have been really impressed with the Ego tools. I have almost all of them. If they made a basic attachment to let you put it on the back of a tractor it would be awesome
Oh yeah! The next video coming out is me installing a privacy fence using both a bobcat auger and this auger, showing the difference. Stay tuned for the next one!
@@TheExcellentLaborer I've already gone through this exercise in Texas and this doesn't work with the clay. You HAVE to break it all up with the iron bar AND then after all of that I rented a skid steer with the auger attachment and did 191 holes. Imagine doing 191 with the manual one? Oh my. Also, the size of the auger needs to be larger so that for 4 to 6" posts you can pack the dirt around it.......UNLESS you're using cement which is not recommended in clay soils like mine. One question: Is there an "extension bar" so that you can go deeper? I need to get at least 36" in the ground for a real perimeter fence. Great video!
The charger is not included. One option is the tool only the other option is the tool p l u s the battery no charger same thing with the ice auger on Amazon I couldn't get there with your link but I went to Amazon and saw it
@@TheExcellentLaborer I understand the charger is not available with any option I thought you said in the video near the beginning that one of the packages includes the battery as well as the charger
04:10 "they do make one that comes with your batteries and everything." One battery yes everything know that would be the charger that doesn't come in any way shape or form so I listen to the video a few times but like I say I understand what you're saying but there's no everything😂
That would be so awesome! I try to get out videos that take a lot of time to make. I usually get out three a month. Sometimes only two depending on the length of the video. I never would have guessed I would even be thinking about 1 million subscribers just a few years ago. Thanks a lot for your support!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Consistency and quantity I think is key. But since you are near 600K I think the rate of subscribers will increase since you videos are so informative.

It is a good auger. That would be a cool attachment idea. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I think another important pro is the reverse feature. The comparable gas powered augers don't have reverse.
Oh yes, good point. Thanks for your input!
Makes ya wanna rent a bobcat with an auger attachment, doesn’t it? lol

Great video!
AWWWsome EGO Earth Auger !
I think so!
Thanks for this review.
No problem I hope that helps!
Well you'll probably answer during the video but I'm going to ask at the beginning is this okay for rocky soil
Yes, I go into detail about rocky soil. It is what you would expect, you need assistance with a digging bar once you hit rock.
My favorite video
Awesome! Thank you!
Do they have a extension for deeper holes?
Call before you dig...lol
👌👍
Thanks for watching!

Yes, I explained that in the video. I placed a link for both of them. I already had batteries so I just needed the tool. I hope that helps!

I am pretty confident if you do around 3-4 videos a month you will hit 1M subscribers by the end of the year! Hope I am right.
